The Liverpool Echo writes:<\/p>\n

Christ Church in Waterloo , St Nicholas’ church in Crosby and Holy Trinity church in Southport were taken off the register following repair works and restoration. Documents on Sefton Council ‘s website say: \u2018We are continuing to work towards the removal of the 6 Conservation Areas [Old Hall; Christ Church; Lord Street; North Meols; Promenade; Waterloo Park] from the national register.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Recent success includes the continued restoration of verandas on Lord Street, Southport, along with the improvements undertaken at previous derelict and vacant sites. Work has started on a number of Heritage at Risk sites following planning permission being granted, including: 2 Oxford Road, Birkdale, 8 Oxford Road, Birkdale and the former Sunnymede School at 4 Westcliffe Road, Birkdale. A number of planning applications have been approved which include the improvement of Heritage at Risk sites, including 30 Lulworth Road. An extra 4 care development scheme on a key Heritage at Risk site at 40 Lancaster Road (former school for the partially hearing) has been approved and, when implemented, will result in the complete transformation of a key asset which has lain derelict for many years.\u2019<\/p>\n

The local authority also says it is working tirelessly to regenerate Southport ; with millions of pounds being ploughed into the seaside town. The council also works closely with investors, and events such as The Southport Flower Show , The Food and Drink Festival; and says it is keen to build on Southport ‘s conference offering. Southport accounts for the majority of Sefton ‘s tourism – and in 2017 visitor numbers were up 4.2% from 2016 – to 9.1 million. The economical impact of this was \u00a3555m – an increase of 8% on the previous year. There was also a 4.6% increase on staying visitors.<\/p>\n
